Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
I was seven. I had no idea about clothes, except knowing that we wear a uniform to school.
“Why didn’t you report it immediately? Why did you report it all of a sudden now, after years? You sure want attention?”
I was seven. I didn’t know that what happened to me was wrong. I didn’t know what they call it so I didn’t report.
“What evidence do you have that he did it?”
I was seven. I was only trying to get away from his clutches. I didn’t get the idea of going back to collect evidence.
“Was there any witness?”
I was seven. He could easily pull me to a place where we’d be alone.
“But his future will be ruined if this comes out now.”
I was seven and had a future too. He never thought of it.
“What were you wearing then?”
I was seven. I had no idea about clothes, except knowing that we wear uniform to school.
“Did you provoke him?”
I was seven. I didn’t know what provokes whom and towards what.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
